Quite An Accomplishment

What you are looking at here is a Union Pacific Railroad lapel pin studded with three sapphires.

Mr. Nebraska Outback received this pin. Each sapphire represents a decade of employment. On May 25, 2009, he will celebrate 30 years with Union Pacific Railroad, all of them at North Platte's Bailey Yard, the largest railroad classification yard in the world. From Fireman Oiler to Electrician to Foreman. It has been a great career. Way to go! It is an amazing accomplishment and I am very proud. It says a lot about him as a person. With the 60/30 rule, only about 10 years to go before retirement!

About Me

My personal motto is to help people have fun! I love living in Nebraska and think it is a whole "undiscovered country" for most Americans and international visitors. I showcase the wonderful things about living here, and gently chide those who need it! I'll also weigh in on a wide variety of issues such as entrepreneurship, craft beer, Deadliest Catch, live music, historic preservation and very infrequently, current events.
